Guessing from my experiences it seems to want to interfere at about 20-25⁰ of angle.

It also seems to do a good job of interfering slowly. It doesn't allow weight to transfer too quickly, which would snap you back the other way.

But Sand mode, with AdvanceTrak off, and the locker on, make for good times in a low traction situation.
I will say. With rear locker locked not as much spin with either tune. But for whatever reason TC is more sensitive with locker locked. Could be the ride height I’m sitting at. Who knows.

Daily tune ford performance/Omega e30 tune for fun time and full bolt ons. She nasty.
Even with traction control AND AdvanceTrak disabled the truck will still shut down the fun via RSC if you're not in sand mode.

Assuming you were talking about pavement, I wanna see a dyno sheet. If you're spinning 33"s in 4wd it should be QUITE impressive.
I mean… this is their 93 octane tune. I’m on their e30 tune. My truck has not been dyno’d. ??‍♂

I have this tune. Plus intercooler, blade runners, full exhaust, Roush intake, 33’s. It hasn’t been dyno’d. But it’s pretty damn quick from a dig even with T/C reducing power like crazy. Can we get to the point… no one else has my issue. Ok cool. Back to stock and to the dealer.

Made mine work two weeks ago. It is a full two second push to engage and light. Roll forward for a bit, turn a little, it will engage, accelerate enough to test.
Mine just goes on and off with a push, not having to hold it and no delay before the light comes on. My VW had the long push to turn it off but my Ranger just toggles on and off.

Exactly. Mine won’t shut off no matter what tune. Tried stock, FRP, Omega and it just does nothing. So irritating, no point in running my setup if it just lays on its face with every launch.

Am I crazy or is the TC light showing "OFF" in the videos of the dash? I see the other light come on when you break traction just a bit, just after launch - but .. why is that showing "OFF" if the button is broken?

unless his tires are hella bald and hes being held in place by a strap lol
I wouldn't think it could spin ALL 4 unless both the front and the back had locking differentials.

It does it with ease on e30. The FP tune barks em. Truck is nasty for what it is for sure. I also refuse to get in a pissing contest with you on what I’ve driven.

And having been up in the air with extreme pucker fearing I am about to flip I can definitely attest to it first hand, also did you know most go karts are one wheel drive? The gas ones at least
